Bahrain Says Lebanese Deported over Hizbullah Ties

إقرأ هذا الخبر بالعربية W460

Bahrain's interior ministry announced on Monday the deportation of Lebanese nationals over alleged links to Hizbullah.

“Several Lebanese residents were deported after it was found that they had links to or were supporters of Hizbullah,” the ministry said in a tweet.

The ministry did not provide any further details, including on the number of people involved. Lebanese press reported last week that up to 10 families had been ordered to leave Bahrain within 24 hours.

Gulf Arab states, including Bahrain, have urged their citizens to avoid traveling to Lebanon and said those already there should leave.

The Saudi-led Gulf Cooperation Council also recently branded Hizbullah a terrorist organization, heightening tensions between the group and the Gulf states.

Once lauded in the Arab world as a heroic resistance movement that stood up to Israel, Hizbullah has seen its popularity plummet among Sunni Muslims because of its staunch support for Syrian President Bashar Assad.

Syria is a secular country, when the so-called "revolt" started, the protests carried large banners which said : "christians to Beirut and Alawites to the grave", with such start, any ruler can't not tolerate this "democratic behaviour".

"hundreds of thousands of their own people": you mean your cousins the takfiris didn't do any harm, then! since according to your biased statistic, all dead are due to Assad's bombs, very credible!.

Most if not all people leave Lebanon to work abroad so they can provide for their families as opportunities in Lebanon are limited. Other leave because they are sick and tired of political and security situation in the country. Just leave politics behind people and look after yourselves and your families... For 40 years it has been like this: راحت على اللي راح

the mix, Saudi American texas.
Iraq, Syria, Algeria, Tunisia, Palestine, and Lebanon are not among those 20 countries beside, the people of Yemen, people of Bahrain, people of Egypt are against the votation, thus only few rulers who want to earn a living from the nearly bankrupted the terrorist state of bani Saud.

EU: ther only military wing, which means don't touch their ally Israel.
ISrael and USA: the enemy and its ally, we can't expect less from them.
in other words, popular base and most countries are friends!
